In iPhone and iPod touch edition. So, it has different edition you can download depending on what you want to do. If you go to download and you go to media coder or full edition, click media coder you can download, media coder just click get installer. Also it has optimization packs if you have a dual core processor. I have an Intel core2 duo or whatever it actually makes it a lot faster to process the video. One of the things I really hate about media coder is that every time you open the program the author shows his splash thing with the credit for eight seconds, it shows up for eight seconds before you can use the program. You can actually disable that by going to file settings, got an overall user interface and hidden among the options is shows blast scream splash for specified time and normally it sets it to eight second. Just set it to zero click apply and close it. One of the other things that are really convenience about media coder is let say I change a bunch of settings, let say mpeg2 I said FAAC the audio I do not know you have your own custom setting. You can actually save your settings, you can actually go to file save that presets and even name ASDF…okay I will save it in then if you want to load the preset just go to load preset and flick the extra mile thing. So, it is really convenience if you go to the pictures tab and flick a facts you can actually add a whole bunch of filters while the videos is processing like deblocking, deringing all the levels any increase of brightness or lower the brightness, increase the contrast, increase the color saturation, and you even colorize it. So it has a bunch of options it does not have sharpening or maybe it does I just do not know it but that would be useful too. You can resize the video, you can change the frame rate and other stuff right here. One of the other programs I mentioned was super it is a very, very popular program but it is kind of annoying to it. If you search download super or super on Google will give you the site in then will give you all the stuff it does but it does not give you a download like until the end. This is start downloading super in then it gives you another page full stuff in you scroll and scroll in you do not find the link, you find it in the top so it is switch locations in then you find another page this is why you super, oh my God! Why? So much stuff in then finally again it gives you a download link it says download super. So, it is probably the most annoying converter you could possibly imagine to download, it is the real hassle to actually find the actual download link. But it does actually convenience and it works pretty well and it is one of the best. It has a huge drop down list of files. Hey get, gif you can make your own mobile animated gif or something based on a short clip or something maybe I do not know. But has a whole bunch of format you can convert it too or let say MP4 where is MP4 I will select MP4 in it will automatically select the code, the video code and audio code probably you get want to use you can flick whatever bit rate or u-tube video you will not get any benefits from increasing the very rate so high let say 528 or something in it has aspect ratio in has many, many options. So, I am just going to drag and drop to get video.flv. I do not want to Trans code and I select the options usually you are okay just select it from the drop down list in then encode. Encode the active things in there in it will say now encoding file and it will start encoding it. And that is it you just wait before it finished you can set the player options or something and you will have your video you can also make large files well under the 100 megabyte limit upload onto u-tube. If you have a huge file that is from you video camera or something just drag it into media coder so the audio to MP3 audio set the channel to stereo and set it to mono on the right side with CVR at 64 Kilo bits per second. Set the video to I do not know 200 to 800 whatever you want and ex videos file AVI it is good. I do not know if it accept MP4 I think it does in then just convert something that is really important is that you resize the video to 320 about 240. It is going to be a much smaller file size if you just resize the video it will be much, much more. You too recommend I think 30 frames per second so I just going to select 30 files per second in that is it. I think AVI files can be edited by windows movie maker or you can edit in virtual dub or AVID max. You can also set it to windows media format in it will also convert it to a compatible format. Okay, here are some random questions I know people I will ask how do I convert an AVI to a DVD or some other video to a DVD? Just drag it in to DVD flick search it on Google it is a free DVD encoder in there is also an AVI to DVD which accepts not just AVI but OGM, NKB, WMV, and you can flick several settings in you can setup multi pass. So, it is quite useful you can name and add sub titles. How do I like take a DVD internet into a small AVI? Well, there is a set of tools specifically for that it is called the Gordian knot that can do all kinds of a crop with DVD’s and AVI’s it has a whole bunch of options and it is actually a variety of programs working together with this nice front.
